Easter

Well, the plan for today was to try and get some pictures of our family. (You'll notice below that there are exactly zero pictures of all of us.) But sometimes kids don't quite understand how much effort goes into these things, and this morning my children had absolutely no interest in being photographed. We did however, get a few good ones of my sweet babies this afternoon.

I love this picture of Luke. He is so very intent on watching the ants crawl.


I really wanted to get a few pictures of Lily outside, but I'm glad I snapped this shot before we went out. Here is the progression of how Lily felt about having her picture taken.

Just hanging out inside.



Obviously she was not loving the fresh air.


It took quite awhile to get her calmed down, after which she was all done in and had to nap in Daddy's arms.


I love these precious children so much! They bring me joy every single day and I can't imagine my life without them.



Lily's First Overnight Trip

I have so much updating to do...but I'll start with the pictures we took in Marble Falls last weekend. We got to take Lily on her first trip and she actually took the 4 hour car ride a lot better than we were expecting. It was so nice to see my Granny and she got to take her first in person look at Lily. Here are a few pictures we took while we were there.

Four generations: Nina, Nikki, Lily and Great Granny


The whole genetically related crazy crew: Nina, Luke, Great Granny, Aunt Billie, Nikki and Lily


We had such a wonderful time - beautiful weather AND great company!
